Cognitive science,system science and theory of traditional Chinese medicine

物质的本质、宇宙的起源、生命的本质和智能的呈现是人类关注的4个基本问题。认知科学、思维科学和人工智能等学科的研究都与4个基本问题之一的智能的呈现密切相关。认知科学在当前学科交叉发展的情况下,着眼于认知心理、脑科学、神经生理以及人工智能、模式识别等多方面的研究。这一切体现着多学科、多领域融合的趋势,同时"认知复杂性"也成为了时代科学的特征。在介绍认知科学、系统科学的同时,针对其理论特点与中医药理论的交叉之处,论述以中医理论分析解释人体复杂巨系统的可能性,为进一步阐述中医理论的合理性、科学性奠定基础。

There are four basic problems that are under concerned nowadays： the essence of substances, the origin of the universe, the hypostasis of lives and the emergence of intelligence. The cognitive science, thinking science and artificial intelligence science are all related intimately to the ＂emergency of intelligence＂, one of problems mentioned above. Being under the circumstance of development of discipline cross, the cognitive science focuses on the researches of cognitive psychology, cerebral science, neurophysiology, artificial intelligence and pattern recognition, which shows a merging trend of multi-discipline and multi-field. The ＂ cognitive complexity＂ itself becomes the characteristics of contemporary science. We introduce here the cognitive science and system science, and discuss the possibility to explain the complex giant system of the human body with TCM theory focusing on the crossing of sciences mentioned above and TCM theory, and to lay a foundation for describing the rationality and scientific nature of TCM theory.
